Big difference. The hudson landing was a controlled emergency approach. With AirFrance the weather and subsequent loss of control is the most probable reason for the crash. The impact would likely have been at excessive speed and angle. In the Hudson crash they lost the engines shortly after take off. Lucky for them they had enough altitude and built up speed to use the controls to maneuver the plane into a landing configuration. Having the water close by was its saving grace. As is always the case. You should never fly through a thunder storm. Doesn't matter how big the bird, the weather is always the victor.


2 500 pound Pressurized hydraulic tanks Accessible as Bypass pressure "Pilot controlled" as backup allowing 15 minutes to lower Altitude In Extreme Emergency for a Hudson Style stop??? So 15 less Passengers Or 150 gallons less fuel!!!
Would That allow Enough For a Semi Controlled Escape?????



That would be enough but unnecessary. In the Hudson landing it was all of about a minute or so from bird strike to touchdown in the water. If a plane is high enough to where it will take 15 minutes to descend to a landing altitude they will be generating enough wind speed to keep the turbines spinning. Which power the hydraulics. No need for backup.


Thnks.

Reuters

Brazilian Defense Minister Nelson Jobim said the existence of large fuel stains in the water likely ruled out an explosion, undercutting speculation about a bomb attack

“The existence of oil stains could exclude the possibility of a fire or explosion,” he said at a news conference in Brasilia. “If we have oil stains, it means it wasn’t burned.”

Points towards an in-flight break up or upon hitting the water.

Wow, why did they release news that it was before being somewhat sure.
The oil spills they now think came from a ship at some point.



BBC News (latest)

Debris 'not from Air France jet' .

Debris recovered from the Atlantic by Brazilian search teams does not come from a lost Air France jet, a Brazilian air force official has said.

Brig Ramon Borges Cardoso contradicted earlier reports that debris had been found, saying "no material from the plane has been recovered".

A wooden cargo pallet was taken from the sea, but the Airbus A330 had no wooden pallets on board.

Just trying to cover their you know whats. First they said an oil slick indicates no bombs. Kinda stupid but they know most of the public has no clue. Now, no oil. Whats the next claim? 'Sorry folks, we meant to say no oil slicks indicats no terrorists and no bombs'

I bet there is an army of lawyers already assembling.

It would have been just as crazy to say it was a bomb if it turns out it wasn't. It seems they're clutching at straws right now understandably.

Yes any airplane can be flown manually but trying to in a storm with no electrics could be just a bit too much to do. If the hydraulics failed as well, it would be like trying to fly a rock at night in a coal mine. Lets hope they find the ELT beacon. That is battery operated and the new digital ones give very accurate position reports.

RIP for all those onboard.

Only if the plane actually fell apart mid air. Not likely unless they flew directly into the middle of a large maturing thunderstorm cell.

If that did happen at high altitude their eyes would pop out of their heads from the sudden decompression. Anyone still alive would instantly freeze to death with the temperatures being 20 to 40 below zero not taking into account a wind chill at a couple hundred miles per hour. That would put it at around -100 degrees or better. Not a pleasant way to go.

Option B, if they just lost control and the plane stayed together all the way down. They would have been tossed around until they hit the water and been crushed by the impact or burned alive from the ignited fuel. Not a good way to go either.

This was such a sad event. I can't stop thinking about those poor passengers and crew. And even worse, the fact that they have no clue where the plane went down. Think about the families with no closure on their loved ones. Awful.

I know, but we can't even imagine what the families are going through. There were children on that flight. Never had a chance to experience life. Just imagine if you had a relative or friend on that plane. I don't know how they are handling this. Tragic loss of life and it's probable there will be no answers, thus no closure.

This is so sad!!
I came to know about it!!
I have seen that the air crashes are occuring too frequently in these days !!
But I am suprised too that why the government is not taking any serious action to check why the airplanes crashes in the air,despite so many technologies used!!
Was that the error of any person or it was a technical fault??
Anyways!!
We must pray for the passengers !!
May their souls rest in peace!!
Amen!! angel
